LA BASSÉE. ALL THAT REMAINS OF THE CHURCH
The tourist next comes to what was Radinghem. Beyond the ruined church (photo, p. 133), turn to the right past an armoured shelter, which defended the road, pass under the railway, and at the hamlet of La Vallée, beyond a chapel, turn to the right into Ennetières. The road continues through the ruins of Englos and Haubourdin.

RADINGHEM IN RUINS
Haubourdin suffered comparatively little from the shells, but like all the other occupied towns of France, it was subjected to exactions, war-levies, deportations and pillage. The German soldiers, when relieved from the Hindenburg line, had their rest-billets there. The church (of no especial interest), the hospital (15th century), and a chapel built in 1347, are still preserved.
